Front Cover : In‐situ polymerization of cyclic butylene terephthalate (pCBT) on aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) buckypaper generates thermoplastic composites with favourable properties. pCBT encapsulates the CNT network with strong interfacial adhesion, allowing for efficient load transfer from the polymer matrix to the nanotubes. Cover image shows the pCBT‐covered CNTs, before and after fracture from tensile testing. Further details can be found in the article by Z. Li,* R. Downes, Z. Liang on page 292.
